A comparison of the number of

our village. The enrolment for the

are admitted at five years of age
and at Alexandria at six. 1t looks as

NEXT WEEK.

The serious work of preparation
for the grand encampment is near
ing its close. The several com.
mittees have done the work en-
trusted to them faithfully and well
to this point. They are all still en-
ergetically engaged in perfecting de-
tails. Only three more working
DAYS remain before our visitors will
commence to arrive by scores and by
hundreds. An important duty de-
wolves upon every citizen to do that
which the committees and the post
uuaided cannot do-extend to the
veterans and their friends cordial
welcome. Each and every citizen
must do his part in this, the. most
important feature of the occasion.
Many of you will have. personal
friends and guests to entertain,
and to them your first duty of en-
tertainment is due. But you must
not confine yourselves to them. A
pleasant word, cordial shake of the
hand, o few moments of personal at
tention-all these will cost but little
time and they go a long way in
breaking the ice of cold formality'
Let none escape these little courte'
sizes. They make your guests fee
at ease, and that we are all glad to
have them come. Public receptions
general words of welcome, banners
and notices are all we'll enough in
their place, and their place will be
everywhere during the encampment
but something more is needed, and
that is personal contact with oul
guests.
The HERALD urges these trivia
details upon those who will be only
too glad to do all that may be done
to make the encampment an occasion
long to be remembered.

THE ALASKA FISHERIES.
The Laws Under Which Canadian
Vessels Are Prevented from Cate h.
ing Seals

vOoSChD Arc ere CAtCeA - ~ ia 1SS - IA
ing Seals.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The depart
ment of state is carefully considering the
question of the jurisdiction of the United
States over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries.
The statement made in the Canadian par
lament yesterday to the effect that COM
muncations ON the subject had been sent by
that government to Secretary Bayard is de-
MED at the state department, and it is said
all the correspondence touching the fisheries
has been carried on directly with the gov
ernment of Great Britain. This fact, it is
believed, will explain the delay in hearing
from the state department Of which COM
plant has been made at Ottawa.
The United States laws under which
certain British Columbian vessels
were seized by the revenue cutter
Corwin last season are more than twenty
years old, and the question of conflict
between those and the law of nations is one
difficult of settlement. The fact that this
question has been raised strengthens the
department in its determination to continue
to pursue the temperate course it has so
far followed in the negotiations with Great
Britain concerning the Canadian fisheries.
The vast Alaskan fisheries are quite as i'm
portant to this country as are the Nova
Scotian inshOre fisheries, and the state de-
partment is necessarily obliged to shape its
construction of the law and treaties as to
preserve the right of the United States
to the exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan
fisheries. while maintaining the treaty rights
of our fishermen in North American waters.
1t is held that there cannot be two cOnStruc-
tons OF the laws: and any position as
sumed by the department must apply
equally to Atlantic and Pacific waters.
